From The Free On-line Dictionary of Computing (27 SEP 03) [foldoc]:

  SORCERER
       
           A simple tree {parser generator} by Terence Parr
          .
       
          SORCERER is suitable for translation problems lying between
          those solved by {code generator} generators and by full
          source-to-source translator generators.  SORCERER generates
          simple, flexible, top-down, tree {parser}s that, in contrast
          to code generators, may execute actions at any point during a
          tree walk.  SORCERER accepts {extended BNF} notation, allows
          {predicate}s to direct the tree walk with {semantic} and
          {syntactic} context information, and does not rely on any
          particular intermediate form, parser generator, or other
          pre-existing application.
       
          SORCERER is included in the {Purdue Compiler-Construction Tool
          Set}.

From Easton's 1897 Bible Dictionary [easton]:

  Sorcerer
     from the Latin sortiarius, one who casts lots, or one who tells
     the lot of others. (See {DIVINATION}.)
     
       In Dan. 2:2 it is the rendering of the Hebrew mekhashphim,
     i.e., mutterers, men who professed to have power with evil
     spirits. The practice of sorcery exposed to severest punishment
     (Mal. 3:5; Rev. 21:8; 22:15).
